However, it likely will take 10 wins to make the playoffs, so the Jets don't have margin for error.

NJ.com user yksong thinks changes need to be made on both sides of the ball:

Rex and company need to change their game plan drastically. The existing plan with just "playing well" is NOT ENOUGH to win. Do something!! You are there to do exactly that!! NOT just talk!! Everyone, including the die-hard fans, knows a lot of their problems already. No. 1 change has to be QB play; it is very clear Mark Sanchez does excel in some situations and have problems in certain areas. Adjust to it, and the play must be called to reflect that. A painfully true fact is the team will not win when Mark throws a lot.

Defense need to change the roles of safeties. Leonard and Smith can not be put in to situations to defend a tight end and/or running back all the time. They are simply too small!!

All in all, Jets can be a much better team if the offense can get back to the form of 2010. Offense is a big liability now.
